A M1 Abrams tank firing shot in a city scene:
http://code.google.com/p/irrcodes/downl ... enshot.jpg

The tank model is made by knoxville.

knoxville@list.ru

The model is separated into body, turret and gun meshes so that different parts can be animated.

The city scene is ripped from CityDriving.zip of sio2:
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/v ... hp?t=45781

Movement control of the tank is done by Bullet/IrrBullet with explosion effect by the SPARK library and
exhaust smoke by Irrlicht's particle system.

Nice shot!! but maybe activate AA.
I guess the fact that you are using spark now means my particle engine lacks some cool features? would like some feedback on that.

Those bg buildings desperately need some bump/etc mapping. Also SSAO/shadows would be nice.

Now with that out of the way, it's indeed a nice shot. Is that what you're secretly working on? Helping irrlicht noobs by day, tank simulator by night

@Sudi

The biggest pitfall of spark is that the effect is not seen except it is near the camera. Some hacky workaround is done to make the effect visible.

I have actually tried out your particle engine which is nice and is better integrated with irrlicht than spark. However, sometimes faint outlines of the quad can be seen. I will try to shrink the UV's and see if this helps. It will be better if the particle engine can also use separate texture files in addition to one big one.

@hendu

The chance of using postpocessing with shaders to do effects e.g. SSAO is slim since my graphics is only GMA X3100

[hendu]

OK, then shadows and bumps only

@smso The edges/outlines in sudi's awesome particles I think I only saw on some of the intel chipsets. Anyway thanks for reminding me, I once wanted to look at the problem...

I know lots of people have exams and vacation, but we're not letting smso win this competition that easy do we?

Does no one have one screenshot which can compete smso?

4 days left!

Ok then here's a small game I was working 2 years ago to evaluate how much Irrlicht had progressed since 1.2 and if I should use it for the new Gekkeiju Online. Didn't finish it though since I got my answer sooner.

Title: Höperiym Wars

The game generates a random map each time and fills it with trees and höperiym-deposits which are those pink crystals. It's using 4 texture terrain splatting for the terrain. Texture depends on the height of the map. XEffects is used for the shadows and water.

Might finish it someday or release the source if not.

@strong99, has anyone ever won by default so far?

@Suvi
Heh, höperiym

[RdR]

Here a screenshot of the Character Animation System, Erelas and I have been working on for our graduation project.
We designed it in a way it can be used independent from the render engine, as a demo we're using Irrlicht to render the skeleton.

Project: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/v ... =6&t=46513

Title: Character Animation System


Supported features:
- Unlimited bones per skeleton
- Multiple skins per skeleton
- Multiple animations per skeleton
- Unlimited keyframes per animation
- Animation controls for speed, direction, looping, weight control
- Animation mixing
- Animation interpolation (linear)
- Animation blending
- Animation synchronization
- Animation layering
- Own file formats
- 3DS Max exporters

And more features still WiP

Maybe we will make it open source when done with our graduation.

If anyone has some suggestions for usefull features, post them ^^ (Not Irrlicht related)
